They're a consumable, especially if you intend to sell the place for gaming. You'll have to keep them fairly up to date, otherwise there'll be no point. The question is whether or not you can bring enough revenue in to support that, which I doubt is possible in North America.
There were *lots* of multiplayer online games before UO/Meridian 59. It is somewhat subjective as to were you can start calling massively multiplayer, but most people do agree that it was either UO or Meridian 59.
I think the point most people are making is that the project is harmful in and of itself. OpenOffice is fine fore me, but it's not ready for people who spend their entire work day in front of a word processor. The only thing this ad could accomplish is disuading those people from trying it when it *is* ready.
That's a perfectly sensible thing to do. OpenOffice's pdf export is excellent, and not every computer has PowerPoint installed on it. Most pdf viewers are better for the purpose if you don't want to edit anyway.
The exact time of death is a slippery and subjective thing. It gets pushed back by technology, and sometimes doctors, like everyone else, are just wrong. If you want to transplant the major organs, you have to take them out before someone could be pronounced fully, irretrievably dead.
Actually, you have that backwards. Money only provides utility to the economy when it is spent. Those who have enough are likely to sit on a large amount and let it stagnate. Those just barely able to get by use all they have, and stimulate the economy.
Not everyone has the same priorities. So long as it fits in my pack, it's portable enough, beyond that I want a large screen and useful keyboard, so bigger is better, and I don't mind carrying 20lb.
Simple fact: there are vastly more women and minorities in the workplace now than there were before affirmative action and forced equal access to education. It works. It's not flawless, and it's not a cure-all, but it has produced results.
I've got a rock that scares away tigers, would you like to buy it? No tiger has ever come near it!
This underlines the reason why rating systems cannot ever work. What you want for your kids is not what a bible thumper wants, which is not what hippies want, which is not what... ad nausium.
The only purpose ratings serve is to let censorship in the backdoor, via retailers who won't sell things beyond a certain rating.
And for all this years I thought that Warcraft was borrowing heavily from Games Workshop's Warhammer miniatures game. Orcs that are green and pig-like, bearers of shamanistic magic, Dwarves with gunpowder, steam tanks as siege weapons, a race of demons... I guess that the article reporter/blogger knows better.
Or like anyone else with an ounce of sense, he completely ignored shysters who want to sell pewter figurines for real money.
All that would result from something like this would be extremely specific running conditions. ie, "Must run on Windows XP patched to date X (and no later) running no other software, not connected to the internet, and only using the software specifically as directed in the manual."
Such software could be exactly what's on the market now.
Can methenol be produced by a tabletop device someone would buy with one of these? If not, I don't see any use for it. Anywhere you could buy a cartridge for it would also have AC power.

Yes, exactly. Why would software companies build new things for a dead platform?
Is Apple going to continue producing PowerPC systems, or are they slated for silicon heaven?
I'm willing to bet that Bill Clinton has more integrity than you do. Who polishes his nob is no ones business but those involved. Sexophobes included.
And you could reasonably call the water "American beer".
I'm sorry, I think you're eating sugar pills. Most games I've tried with Cedega will run, but are so slow as to be unplayable.
It's more than just a *little* overhead, most games aren't playable under Cedega.
I bet you're more hands on with the students...
No one *wants* to, so there's no competition.
Under Linux, your favourate player will handle it. Under windows, you can use Real Alternative and QT Alternative to avoid the malware.
That's a local issue. Responsible countries don't burn much coal/natural gas for electricity, aside from emergency backup.

No it isn't.

Organs can only be harvested from a living body. It's done when it's nearly (but not completely) certain that recovery won't happen.
The dead don't decide anything.
Interestingly, the same could be said of the oil barons of another age.
